Artificial intelligence is becoming part of every industry in Azerbaijan, from finance to logistics and public services.

If you're starting out, focus on fundamentals first:

• Python basics and data structures
• Statistics and probability
• Data analysis with pandas and visualization tools
• Intro to machine learning workflows

Then build visible projects.

A strong beginner portfolio can include:

1. A small classification project on open data
2. A dashboard that explains model outputs
3. A short write-up that describes trade-offs and limitations

Consistency matters more than intensity. Weekly progress over 3 months beats one intense weekend sprint.
